Simulink Desktop Real-Time, App Generator?

Hello all, I am working on a simulink project that is being designed for a RT application. I read on one of these forums that Simulink Real-Time only works for for two-computer set ups (you need a target computer, along with a development computer). My application will be using a single computer for both development and deployment. For this reason, I've shifted to using Simulink Desktop Real-Time.

Basically, I am trying to make a GUI with some knobs and fields on it to be able to change certain parameters in real-time while my simulink model runs. I saw Simulink Real-Time has App Generator, but I don't see how I can do this OR something similar with Simulink Desktop Real-Time.

Any suggestion would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi Kyle,

unfortunately, Simulink Desktop Real-Time does not have the capability to generate standalone applications. Models created using Simulink Desktop Real-Time can be run only from MATLAB and Simulink.

Thanks for the response Jan.

When you say there is no way to generate standalone applications, does that include using the Matlab App generator with the Simulink Real-Time buttons and fields? Or do those not work for Simulink Desktop Real-TIme?

Hi Kyle,

there is no way to start Simulink Desktop Real-Time application from outside of Simulink. I don't know whether MATLAB App Generator would be able to generate some app, but even if it is, the app would not run outside of Simulink.
